REEMS activities over the academic year include: • Fall and spring seminars and research laboratory tours • Networking among partnering university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and materials professionals, and • Workshops and seminars on university transfer and academic programs at regional universities. During recruitment, the PI, REEMS staff, university research faculty, and formerREEMS REU students discuss the scope of research projects, various seminars and networkingopportunities, development of a coherent transfer plan to participating institutions, and thebenefits of both the

However, as a qualitative study, generalizability is not the goal, but ratherunderstanding individual interpretations of experiences and what meaning individuals areattributing to those experiences.DiscussionIf this is the information age—an age driven by empowered individuals better able to connect toothers, access knowledge, and tailor an environment best suited for her or him—then it is nosurprise that makerspaces are appearing in multiple contexts all over the world. With theknowledge at their fingertips, a handful of creative, imaginative, and motivated individuals aredesigning and producing devices and ideas that were once limited to the selectively trained,operating in industrial oriented laboratories or

build upentrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowded engineeringprogram. The College of Engineering (CoE) decided to embed entrepreneurial skills inengineering learning activities for a number of courses throughout the program curriculum,requiring an efficient and integrated process. By incorporating EML in different coursesequences and capstone courses such as circuits, electronic design, and communicationsequences, students will have the opportunity to develop and build up their entrepreneurialmindset.The three Cs: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [26]” found in the KEEN frameworkare added as course outcomes.

At the conclusion of the course, freshmen gain an appreciation for the powerof modeling physiological systems and can propose their own hypothesis, which they can thentest in lab. With practice, freshmen become more comfortable with the modeling process [3].They understand the value of solving challenging, open-ended problems with multiple potentialsolutions. Engineering students must learn to creatively ideate and assess numerous approaches,often with conflicting outcomes, starting their freshmen year.

It is impossible to achieve sociotechnical integration without an understanding of the socio-cultural context of the problem. § Generally relies on open-ended problems, allowing students to experience tradeoffs in engineering processes.It is important to note that we are speaking of implementation of real-world examples intoengineering curricula and recognize that some classes may be taught in formats other than alecture-based course. Some examples of this could be inverted or flipped classes, active learning,laboratory courses, project-based courses, or discussion-based courses.

In addition, 95% error bands for the correlations were estimatedusing the bootstrap re-sampling method. This bootstrap analysis with Kendall’s Tau wasconducted by Jonathan Stallings of the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis(LISA) at Virginia Tech using code that was written in the R programming language. The results of Part 2 of the survey were checked for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and the Shapiro-Wilk tests. Based upon the results of these tests, it was
